I almost bought a bronze type-r from the showroom thinking it was black - thought it was the yellowy lights giving it a browny tint. Glad i double checked with the salesman.

I think everyones perception of the colour is different. I personally thought that yeah it looked ok in the showroom but in sunlight it would just look brown and i dont really like brown cars - reminds me too much of volvos in the 1980/90s.

I also think that owners of bronze cars will be slightly biased as to how it looks - they're not going to admit that the car they shelled out loads of money for looks brown!!

In the end I played it safe with NHB - not adventurous enough for bronze.
